This file is in the public domain.
Htget retrieves the raw text of a file from the world wide web using
HTTP protocol.  (Other protocols such as FTP are not supported.)

usage:  htget [-h | -b] URL

The URL may be given with or without the "http://" prefix.

If -h is given, a HEAD request is sent, requesting only information
instead of the complete file.

If -b is given, the header is stripped and the body is copied
in binary mode.
